GoodReadTim rushed up to stop Eric just then. "Calm down! What you're doing is pointless! At least Young Master Quill gave us a way out!" "Young Master Quill?! A way out?!" Eric's face fell at the title young master and turned in disbelief toward Tim. "You... I was... you..." Tim hung his head guiltily. "I'm sorry, but Young Master Quill threatened to kill my sister if I wasn't being honest... I hope you'll understand." "No, I don't!" Eric punched him down on the ground while bellowing maniacally, "Understand you?! Then what about me?! So your sister gets to live, but what about my mother?! What did she do?!

"Eric... Brother!" Tim gaped in disbelief at Eric's tragic bow out and leapt toward Eric. He pressed his hand on the bullet wound, as if to stop the bleeding.

His brother from another mother, whom he had grown up with, was now dead because of his betrayal.
Tim felt his heart had been cut in two, and he almost blacked out.
"Alright, alright. Enough of the soap opera already." Rex showered no sympathy for Tim's tears and was even smirking.
